Gold dragons are the ones most often killed by humans, who consider their scales to be extremely valuable. These golden scales grant them a high level of protection, similar to armor, and they use this to their advantage in battle.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Motherfather Gentleman's name suggests that he's a gentleman who was raised by good parents, but that isn't so. He's never seen his parents before and certainly isn't a gentleman. He proudly announces his love of partying and doesn't give much thought to the consequences of his behavior, which involves tripping dragons, groping them, and other pranks that inconvenience the targets individually. Not too long ago, he met another dragon who liked being a killjoy as much as he did. Her audacity impressed him. Together, they've gathered a following, who mostly hang around to dance with them. Some onlookers believe that Motherfather Gentleman became less of a jerk when he was the victim, while others think that he and his lady will just continue to pull mean pranks on other dragons.
